First you can open the play store> settings> content filtering > make sure all the items are checked. Now reopen the the Play Store and try installing the app again.

If that does not work, go into Settings >Apps > All > Google Play Store >Clear Cache and defaults and reopen the play store. Make sure content filtering is setup correctly and attempt the download.

You can also go to http://market.android.com and remotely download the application from a PC.
